Nature Of Operations And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Jones Soda Co. develops, produces, markets and distributes premium beverages which it sell s and distribute s primarily in United States and Canada through its network of independent distributors and directly to its national and regional retail accounts. We are a Washington corporation and have two operating subsidiaries, Jones Soda Co. (USA) Inc. and Jones Soda (Canada) Inc. (“Subsidiaries”). Basis of presentation and consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 , which has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 , has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations applicable to interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions between us and our subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 . Liquidity As of June 30, 2016 , we had cash and cash-equivalents of approximately $ 584 ,000 and working capital of $ 1.9 million. Cash used in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $ 462 ,000 compared to $984,000 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in cash used in operations compared to the same period a year ago is primarily due to an increase in sales volume. We reported a net loss of $ 65 ,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 . As of the date of this Report, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, combined with our Loan Facility and anticipated cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs through June 30, 2017 . We have a revolving secured credit facility (the “Loan Facility”) with CapitalSource Business Finance Group . The Loan Facility allows us to borrow a maximum aggregate amount of up to $ 3.2 million based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory . As of June 30, 2016 , our accounts receivable and inventory eligible borrowing base was approximately $ 1.9 million, of which we had drawn down $1.2 million. See Note 3 for further information. We may require additional financing to support our working capital needs in the future. The amount of additional capital we may require, the timing of our capital needs and the availability of financing to fund those needs will depend on a number of factors, including our strategic initiatives and operating plans, the performance of our business and the market conditions for debt or equity financing. Additionally, the amount of capital required will depend on our ability to meet our case sales goals and otherwise successfully execute our operating plan. We believe it is imperative to meet these sales objectives in order to lessen our reliance on external financing in the future. We intend to continually monitor and adjust our business plan as necessary to respond to developments in our business, our markets and the broader economy. Although we believe various debt and equity financing alternatives will be available to us to support our working capital needs, financing arrangements on acceptable terms may not be available to us when needed. Additionally, these alternatives may require significant cash payments for interest and other costs or could be highly dilutive to our existing shareholders. Any such financing alternatives may not provide us with sufficient funds to meet our long-term capital requirements. If necessary, we may explore strategic transactions that we consider to be in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders, which may include, without limitation, public or private offerings of debt or equity securities, a rights offering, and other strategic alternatives; however, these options may not ultimately be available or feasible. The uncertainties relating to our ability to successfully execute on our business plan and finance our operations continue to raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements for the periods presented were prepared assuming we would continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that could result should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Seasonality and other fluctuations Our sales are seasonal and we experience fluctuations in quarterly results as a result of many factors. We historically have generated a greater percentage of our revenues during the warm weather months of April through September. Sales may fluctuate materially on a quarter to quarter basis or an annual basis when we launch a new product or fill the “pipeline” of a new distribution partner or a large retail partner such as 7-Eleven. Sales results may also fluctuate based on the number of SKUs selected or removed by our distributors and retail partners through the normal course of serving consumers in the dynamic, trend-oriented beverage industry. As a result, management believes that period-to-period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance or results expected for the fiscal year. Use of estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, inventory valuation, depreciable lives and valuation of capital assets, valuation allowances for receivables, trade promotion liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets, contingencies, and forecasts supporting the going concern assumption and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued Accounting Standard Update (‘‘ASU’’) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In June 2015, the FASB deferred for one year the effective date of the new revenue standard, with an option that would permit companies to adopt the standard as early as the original effective date. Early adoption prior to the original effective date is not permitted. We are evaluating the impact this standard may have on our revenue recognition, but do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. I n July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330) , to amend Topic 330, Inventory. Topic 330 currently requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory measured using either the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Adoption of ASU 2015-11 is required for fiscal reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The ASU is intended to provide more transparent and economically neutral information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases than previous guidance. The ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, and adoption must be applied on a modified retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact of this standard but do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. I n March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting which amends ASC 718 , Compensation — Stock Compensation . The ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various provisions related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. We are evaluating the impact of this standard but do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our financial statements. |
